THE CONTINUOUS SESSION ADJOURNS

After Vainly Endeavoring to Hold Quorum Together the Friends of Repeal Give Up—Working*

Upon a Compromise.

UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL DEFEATED. WASHUfSTOW, Oct 18.—The senate adjourned at 1:45. a. m. on motion ol Senator Voorhees, and the fight for unconditional repeal is over. After failing to get a quorum Senator Voorhees said he conceived he had done his duty and therefore moved adjournment, which was promptly carried. The seni| ate had been in continuous session for more than forty hours, during which time forty roll-calls were made.

Working on the Compromise. When the senate meets to-day at 11 the democrats will have had time to arrange their compromise. The administration senators will also have had time to decide whether they will fight it. The "steering" committee is working on the proposed compromise. At 11 o'clock a conference was held in the room of the committee on appropriations. It was attended by Senators Gorman, Faulkner, Gray, Harris, Camden, Cockrell and Bansom. They discussed the features of a compromise which could be offered to-day. Senator Harris' amendment with its provision for coining the seigniorage in the treasury and then buying silver to coin is the basis, but the real proposition was in the inside pocket of Gorman. As it now stands this contains a provision giving authority for a new issue of bonds, but this proposition is to be put tentatively, in order to test the sense of the senate. The withdrawal of all notes under 110 is also contemplated. The amount of silver purchases and the time limit are not fully determined because Senator Teller and the silver senators mustpronounce on the time, and they are determined the purchases shall not stop under three years.

The Proceedings.

The day's proceedings might be said to have begun with sunrise. At that hour Senator Allen (pop., Neb.) was still talking. He talked right on, with occasional interruptions in the shape of calls for a quorum, until after 8 o'clock. He had broken Senator Faulkner's

SENATOR ALLEN.

record in the force bill fight, having held the floor nearly fifteen hours, as against thirteen by Senator Faulkner. There was this difference, that Senator Allen had a quorum present most of the time, while Senator Faulkner in making his record was enabled to put in several hours sitting still and waiting for a quorum.

No Quorum Voted.

About 9 o'clock Senator Sherman appeared and asked whether his vote had been recorded on the Peffer amendment, and receiving an affirmative answer settled back in his seat and turned to his correspondence. After the vice president had decided that fortythree senators constituted a quorum Senator Voorhees moved to lay the Peffer amendment on the table. Senator Wolcott 'suggested that there was no quorum present, but forty-eight senators were found to be in the hall. The vote on the Voorhees motion resulted: Yeas, 29 nays, 12—no quorum.

A call of the senate was ordered, and forty-five senators answered "Here." PefTer Amendment Shelved.

The vote on laying the PefTer amendment on the table was then announced as: Yeas, 33 nays, 17. So it was laid on the table. The amendment thus defeated was a completfe free coinage act in itself. It was intended to supplement the repeal paragraph of the Voorhees bill. The amendment prescribes the proportions and weight of the gold and silver coins to be coined hereafter and the nature of the alloy and provided the necessary machinery for the execution of its purpose, namely, free coinage of both gold and silver.

The vote having been announced, Senator Voorhees remarked that the only other amendment pending to tho house bill was the amendment reported from the finance committee.

Senator Martin had been scheduled for a four hours' spech. At the end of the time he startled his colleagues by quietly remarking that he was just getting into his subject and was good for another ten hours. Some of the senators on hearing this were inclined to leave the chamber and' let the quorum disappear without further effort to keep it up, but they were dissuaded from this purpose.

After another call of the senate at 1:20 Senator Voorhees gave notice that, for every call that was hereafter made for a quorum of the senate, lie should insist on tho calling of the names of the absentees and to compel their attendance. Senator Marfln took his seat at 4 p. m., remarking that he felt exhausted and he hoped to iiave an opportunity of adding such further remarks as his judgment might dictate.

Notice of an Amendment.

Senator Morgan (dem., Ala.) gave notice of an amendment which he would offer to the repeal bill, and which, he •aid, had been prepared by his colleague in the house of repre«$£tfttives,

Mr. Turpin. It provides for the coinage of standard silver dollars at the existing ratio makes them and all silver dollars of equal weight and" fineness already coined legal tender, except where otherwise stipulated in the contract directs the purchase of silver bullion and its coinage into standard silver dollars to an equal amount, monthly and yearly, with the gold coined in the same time, and provides that the bullion 30 purchased (at the market value) shall be paid for in standard silver dollars.

Harris Had an Amendment. At 10 p. m. there were still about fifty senators in and around the senate chamber. A momentary interest attached to an amendment which Senator Harris (dem., Tenn.) gave notice he would offer. Its substance was the coinage of the seigniorage now in the treasury at the rate of 13,000,000 per month, and after that silver was to be coined to an amount not stated. Senator Allison (rep., Ia.) said the amendment coming from the senator from Tennessee, who was a member of the finance committee, was significant, and he wanted to know if the omission to fix the amount of silver to be coined after the seigniorage was intentional. Senator Harris said it was, as the purpose was to test the sense of the senate as to the amount which should be coined. The Harris amendment was looked upon by the senators as paving the way for compromise.

More Roll Calls.

When Senator Woloott at 11:50 again deemed It a convenient opportunity to suggest the absence of a quorum there was a buzz of expectancy, for the whisper had gone round that a quorum would not be forthcoming and that some release from the long continued strain was in sight. Still a call of the roll showed forty-one senators present including Senator Stewart Senators Turpie (Ind.) and Vance (N. C.) had gone home sick.

The Third Day Begins.

After twenty-five minutes, when no quorum had beefi made, Senator Manderson (rep., Neb.) began to voice the general impatience, expressing a hope that there would not be much longer delay. In the meantime the senate rapidly thinned, nearly all the republican senators, who had been fairly constant in attendance early in the night, taking their departure. Senator Butler (dem., a C.)

strolled into

the chamber, but was quickly warned by Senator Wolcott of the situation and did not ask that his name be called. When nearly one hour had elapsed without one additional senator responding, Senator Wolcott approaching Senitor Faulkner, who was in the ohair, nade an informal proposition to him hat the silver men would give him a luorum if he would oonsent to ap adournment (with a quorum present), rhii proposition Senator Faulkner iromptly declined.

Senator Voorhees, in asking that absentees be reported, wished that particular emphasis be laid on the names of those present and not responding. This suggestion, however, failed to draw any response from Senators Wolcott, Jones (Nev.) or Dubois, who were in their seats, or from Senator Teller, who was plainly visible surveying the proceedings from the cloak room.

Wanted to Adjourn.

Shortly before 1 o'clock the dead silence was broken by Senator Gallinger (rep., N. H.), who asked the senator from Indiana (Senator Voorhees) whether he expected the senate to remain in session much longer without their much needed rest He confessed he himself would be glad to hear a motion to adjourn. "The senator from Indiana," he continued, "need not answer unless he chooses, but if he does not answer I shall certainly not remain here much longer."

Senator Voorhees rose and every sen'ator in the chamber gave earnest attention to his remarks. He said lie had not embarked upon this voyage without a full knowledge of the difficulties that would encounter him. He believed a quorum would ultimately reach the chamber. There were, he said, forty members here now, not counting seven or eight luxuriant, kindly SOUIB sitting about the chamber too indolent even to answer to their names.

Teller and Htewurt Talk.

Senator Teller (rep., Col.) at 4:15 took the floor and proceeded with a speech against the bill which he had begun last week. At 6:20 o'clock Senator Teller said he had an important engagement which he was desirous of keeping, if agreeable to the senate, and he would now yield the floor, with the understanding that he could resume today. To this there was no objection, and Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) was recognized. Before he proceeded, however, Senator Dubois (rep., Idaho) suggested the absence of a quorum. The roll was called, showing the presence of forty-six senators.

Couldn't Hold a Quorum.

At 1:05 a quorum appeared and Senator Stewart continued his speech. Senator Stewart had continued only fifteen minutes when Senator Wolcott once more suggested the absence of a quorum. Thirty-six senators only answered to their names, and on motion of Senator Voorhees another list of absentees was compiled.

At 1:40 the sergeant-at-arms submitted his report in writing,which showed there were tv.-o senators absent from the city, twelve excused by the senate, four unable to attend on account of illness, nine in the capital who made no answer to the summons and sixteen reported at their residences as absent from home and could not be found.

Voorhees Given Up.

Immediately following this report Senator Voorhees said, in view of the report of the sergeant at arms, it was evident no further business could be transacted and he therefore moved that the senate adjourn. There was no opposition and the senate at 1:45 adjourned until 11 o'clock to-day.

SA.VAN.VAH, Ga., Oct

18.—The West

Indian storm which reached here 1 hursday blew a gala of 40 to 60 miles an hour all day, continued to increase in fury, but up to dark had not done *".V great damage right in the city. The City of Augusta, which left New York Wednesday, will meet the storm off the North Carolina coast in about the same latitude that the Savannah was struck by the last storm. There are eighteen vessels in the Tybee roads and at quarantine, and the chances are that if the gale continues they will all be wrecked, as in the case of the last blow. All the vessels in port are seeking places„of refuge. No reports have been heard from any of the Sea islands, but the prospect is that the storm will undo all that has been done for them in the way of shelter and that they will be as bad or worse off than they were before. No reports of any fatalities have \ret been received. The gale at Jacksonville is said to have been the worst they have had there since 1881.

Cyclone in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct 13.—One of the most terrible wind and rain storms ever known here is now raging along the Florida coast extending inland about fifty miles. The storm is a regular West Indian cyclone, and has been felt in this vicinity during the last two days, gradually increasing in severity. Reports received Thursday morning from Key West say that the storm passed over that city Tuesday and Wednesday, doing much damage. Reports from Titusville are that the storm passed over that place in a northwesterly direction, blowing 80 miles per hour. All communication with places south of hero has been cut off by wires being blown down, and great fears are entertained that TitusviUe and many other places on the coast have suffered greatly from loss of life.

Partly Under Water.

Reports from St. Augustine are to the effect that the city is partially submerged by water backing over the sea wall. Full particulars cannot be ascertained. Pablo Beach, Mayport and Fernandina, places near here, are in great peril, especially the two first named, which are greatly exposed to the seas.

Railroad Trains Stopped.

Trains on the Jacksonville, Mayport & Pablo rail way and the Jacksonville & Atlantic railroad have been stopped by the heavy rains. A heavy rain lias accompanied the wind and it is feared that the orange crop will suffer greatly, as the fruit is in condition to be easily shaken off the treea

Charleston Submersed*

CHARLESTON, S. C., Oct

13.—Thedam­

age by the prevailing storm cannot now be estimated. Then, too, there are a number of big cotton steamships at the piers. These, it ia thought, escaped serious damage. Warned by their experience in the August cyclone most of thejhouseholders along the river front of the city moved their household goods out of the first floor, and thus escaped damage by the tide water, which at this time covers nearly all the streets within two blocks of the river on three sides of the city.

NO QUORUM IN THE HOUSE.

The McCreary 1)111 Considered—Other Proceeding*. WASHINGTON, Oct.

13.—There was no

quorum in the house on Wednesday, but no point was made. Mr. Meiklejohn (Neb.) called up the bill applying the land laws of March 8, 1891, to that portion of the Sioux reservation whioh extended into Nebraska, and the bill was passed. The joint resolution providing for elections in the Cherokee strip was passed, but notun1.il Mr. Coffeen (Wyo.) asked to offer an amendment to allow women as well as men the right of suffrage, as is the case in his state. The fight in the morning hour came up on the bill to protect forest reservations, reported from the committee on public lands. Before a vote could be reached the morning hour expired and the bill went over. The McCreary bill to amend the anti-Chinese law was taken up, and an attempt was made to reach an agreement when a vote should be taken, which failing, Mr. McCreary said he had an understanding with Mr. Coxe (Tenn.) that the bank bill set for consideration today would be postponed, and that to-day, at 4 o'clock, he would call the previous question. Speeches in favor of the McCreary bill were made by Messrs. llill (111.), Johnson (0.), Orosvenor (O.) and Uartlett (N. Y.). Messrs. Loud (Cal.) and Hooker (Miss.) opposed the bill.

Mr. Geary offered his amendments, which are that certificates must be accompanied with photographs, and a duplicate filed in the office of the collector of internal revenue that the order of deportation must be enforced by the United States marshal, and the Chinese must remain in custody until deportation without bail also defining the word merchant to mean any person engaged in buying and selling at a fixed place of business in his name. A Chinese merchant seeking entrance into this country on the ground that he was a former merchant must prove by two witnesses other than Chinese that he was such.

Going Out ol Huslness.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 13.—The Mercantile Trust company of this city, with a capital stock of II,000,000 has decided to wind up its affairs and go out of business. The reasons given are the recent financial depression and the extremely high rates of risks, which tho company did not feel justified in assuming.

WILL PULL NO MORE CARS. CHICAGO, Oct 13.—Four hundred and eighty-one Jiorses perished in a fire whioh destroyed the Wallace streetcar barns of the Chicago City Street railway, Thirty-ninth and Wallaoe streets, at 6 o'clock Thursday evening. The total loss, including thirty cars, 150 tons of hay and the overstock of line equipments, is 199,(100. On this there is a line of insurance carried aggregating $89,500.

Horses Became Frenxled.

Upon discovering the fire employes made an effort to aid the horses to escape. At the first scent of the smoke the poor animals became frenzied. Tho men began cutting halter straps and liberating the horses of the outer tier of stalls, but some of these animals, frightened and excited by the shrill squeals and the plunging and ravtng of the animals that were burning, refused to follow the pulling at the severed halter. Many rushed into tho narrow aisles, ran to the door and looked out in a dazed way and then dashed back into the burning building' to their death. Only eighty of the animals were saved. Of the hundreds of horses that perished it is the opinion of the firemen that few were burhed outright. There were 150 tons of hay in the second story and this was well burned before the roof of the building was ignited. The smoke was forced down into the barn below and the aniiAals suffocated. The firemen arrived too late to assist the horses.

Four Blocks Burned.

Sioux CITY, Ia., Oct 13.—At 1:»0 a. m. Thursday fire broke out in the Union planing-mill, at the corner of Fifth and Water streets, almost in the center of the business district Five minutes later the great building was blown to atoms by a terrific explosion, and in a second later the scattered embers had ignited a dozen buildings in the vicinity, many of them frame structures. The whole flre department was oalleu out, but the firemen were helpless to stay the progress of the conflagration. A deep, broad creek ran through the burning district making it impossible for them to get near the flames. All that could be done was to mass their forces on West Third street and the bridge, and wait for the flames. Here a desperate and successful effort was made to prevent the flames from crossing the street and penetrating to the heart of the business district and to the lumber yards and flour-mill district Nozzle men were stationed in front of the wall of flames to keep wet the buildings on the opposite side of the street while other pipemen played on them in turn to keep their clothing from igniting. Finally the flames were checked at the very border of a district where, had they entered, a clean sweep would have been made to the Missouri river. i-t,:i:'

Four Blocks Ooue.

Over thirty buildings were destroyed and the total loss will exceed (400,000. Ily 3 o'clock four blocks along Perry creek were completely wiped out Among the more important buildings burned were those of the Franz Brewing company, the Andrews planingmill, part of the Sioux Automatic Refrigerator oompany's plant, Johnson's livery barn, John Arensdorfs warehouse, containing a heavy stock of liquors, and eight business houses fronting on Water street

Rest Part of a Town Burns. CRAWFOKD8VILLE, Ind., Oct 13.— Seven brick business blocks in Waynetown were destroyed by fire Wednesday night Several residences and barns were also burned. The fire originated in the cellar of Harmon & Henry's hardware store and burned four hours. Aid was telegraphed for from Crawfordsville, but no train oould be secured. At one time four men were at work on a roof when an explosion of dynamite occurred, throwing them into the air. One of them fell to the sidewalk and was badly hurt Incendiarism is suspected and four tramps were arrested, but released later. Several houses were robbed during the night The losses will reach 1130,000, with little insurance.

Ileavy Loss at Freepnrt.

FRKEPORT, 111., Oct. 12.—At 4 a. m. a largo three-story brick building owned by L. M. Devore and Jerre Pattison was completely gutted by fire. The building was occupied by Gordon's restaurant and the Union nickel plating works. The loss on building and contents is estimated at (40,000, with but (18.000 insurance. Ed Jordan, a railroad man, was seriously and probably fatally burned while escaping from the building.
